All night, all day.
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day.
Angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Angels watching over me.
Bless my friends and my family.
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Bless those people who take care of me.
Angels watching over me.
Angels watching all through the night.
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Keep me safe until the morning light.
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me.
Sun is a-setting in the West;
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Sleep my child, take your rest;
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me.
